Vox amps documentary now on BBC iPlayer

Catch Vox on the box!

A new BBC documentary on Vox Amplification's impact on the '60s, 'Vox Pop: How Dartford powered the British Beat Boom', is now available to watch via BBC iPlayer.

As you may have guessed from the lengthy-but-very-informative title, the programme looks at how the Dartford-based instrument manufacturer became the brand of choice for the bands of the British beat era movement, including The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Yardbirds, before declining at the end of the decade.

Of course, there's a top notch line-up of interviewees, most notably Brian May and Bruce Welch (The Shadows), along with more contemporary names like The Horrors.
